Chapter 232


    ckbosses wererge monsters that resembled a bear. Their front paws had terrifying destructive power and were covered in thick scales that even Aura des found difficult to pierce through, and their ws could release an Aura that was as strong as an Expert-rank knights.


    However, their strongest weapon was their charge. Coated with a strong magic force field that not even Aura could prate, stopping them on their tracks was difficult even for Master-rank knights. Expert-rank knights would struggle even if they had Chevalier Armor.


    We should prioritize deterring the ckbosses charge. Mu-Gunmented.


    Agreed. If they manage to destroy our formation, we would likely find ourselves in deep trouble, Philfordmented.


    How about we position the Masters up front and have the Experts attack through the gaps?


    We only have eight Master-rank knights. I doubt they can stop the ckbosses by themselves.


    I know. Thats why Sir Philford, Lady Cami, and I will be the ones stopping their initial charge,


    That is a good idea. Considering they heavily outnumber us, it would be no exaggeration to say that it is up to you two Grand Masters to stop the ckbosses, Cami said.


    That applies to you as well, does it not, Lady Cami? Mu-Gun asked.


    Compared to you two, I am a nobody.


    What? You do not pale inparison to a Grand Master, so please dont say that, Philford replied.


    Cami smiled. You praise me too much. I will do my best not to fall behind.


    I would like tounch the preliminary attack alone, Mu-Gun volunteered.


    Why? Do you have another strategy in mind? Philford asked.


    I will break the ckbosses formation.


    How do you n to do that?


    It would be easier to see it for yourself, Mu-Gun replied, stopping Philford from asking any more questions.


    The two then briefed the Golden Lion Order and Crimson Dragon Order about the operation. Although they called it an operation, there was nothing special about it.


    Eager to defeat the ckbosses, Schwartz and the four other Masters grew restless. They could not wait to use their newly obtained Chevalier Armor inbat.


    It did not take long for their wishes toe true. A group of five-meter ckbosses approached from the distance, creating quite a daunting sight. With each step they took, the towering beasts made the ground shake.


    With the monsters only three hundred feet away, Mu-Gun immediately took to the skies and spread a wave of golden lightning. As soon as they closed the distance to just a hundred feet, he unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst.


    A thousand Thunderbolt Swords poured down from the sky and onto the ckbosses. Choosing not to stop their charge, the monsters covered themselves with magic force fields, thinking those would be enough to stop the iing projectiles.


    Contrary to ckbosses expectations, however, the Thunderbolt Swords were far beyond what their defenses could block. The swords easily tore through the force fields, pierced through the towering ckbosses, and blew them up. Monster blood and flesh scattered everywhere.


    The swords then fired waves of thunder in all directions, sweeping through the ckbosses that managed to avoid them earlier. The attack temporarily paralyzed the monsters legs, the sudden change in speed sending them twisting and tumbling forward.


    With just one Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst, Mu-Gun had effectively massacred a thousand ckbosses and paralyzed hundreds more.


    That was truly amazing. Are all Grand Masters that strong? Cami asked, clearly in shock.


    Not even a Grand Master can pull off something like that, Philford answered.


    You mean Lord Argon has reached an even higher rank?


    Although it is unprecedented, he may have already reached the God Master Stage.


    Do you really think so?


    Considering he is Gods representative, it is not entirely impossible.


    <em>Hmmm</em>. If Lord Argon has really be a God Master, then we are going to have huge problems once the Demon Gods threat has been eliminated. No one will be able to stop him, Cami replied, thinking that Pantheon would reign supreme over Avalon after they stopped the Demon God.


    The Sky God granted him power to prevent the Demon Gods threat. They will likely reim it once he has done his mission, Philford replied. Either way, this is not the time to talk about This. Let us focus on stopping the ckbosses for now.


    Good call. Cami nodded and began to cast Gravity Press, a Seventh-Circle Magic that could increase the gravitational force in an area, putting immense pressure on anyone inside. If she used all her Mana, she could increase the gravity in a thirty-meter-wide area tenfold, which would be enough to crush even Master-rank knights.


    Upon noticing that Cami had begun casting a spell, Philford summoned his E-ss Chevalier Armor and unsheathed his Chevalier Sword. He then flew toward the ckbosses at an unbelievable speed. At the same time, he formed an Aura de around his weapon, creating an Aura storm so huge it seemed capable of engulfing everything.


    As the Aura storm swept past the left nk of the ckbosses formation, the ckbosses crouched down and crossed their two front paws, creating magic force fields. Their resistance proved futile, however. The storm lifted the massive monsters into the air and tore them apart, flinging their pieces all over the area.


    Having no ns to let up, Philford sent forth more Aura storms, brutally tearing apart the ckbosses within range. At the same time, Cami attacked the ckbosses right nk with Gravity Press, having finished its incantation. Unable to withstand the immense pressure it caused, the spell easily crushed all the monsters that entered its area of effect.


    The three ughtered around two thousand ckbosses in total. The sight they left behind served as a testament to how powerful Grand Masters and Archmages were.


    Over three thousand ckbosses remainedfar too many for the Golden Lion Order and Crimson Dragon Order to handle themselves. Hence, Mu-Gun used the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst again, killing a thousand and paralyzing hundreds more. As Philfords Aura storms continued toy waste to the ckbosses left nk, Cami cast Gravity Press again, crushing hundreds of ckbosses. Soon, only a thousand were left, which was still quite a lot but nothing two Knight Orders could not handle.


    Having been waiting for this moment, Schwartz and the four other Masters put on their Chevalier Armor and rushed toward the monsters. The Crimson Dragon Orders Master-rank knights followed suit, wearing Chevalier Armor that lookedpletely different from the Golden Lion Knights.


    Emphasizing different traits, the Golden Lion Knights Chevalier Armor had a sleek shape since they focused on speed and agility, while the Crimson Dragon Knights had a rtively bulky one because they focused on solidifying their defenses. Since their effectiveness varied depending on the situation and the knights abilities, it was hard to determine which was better. However, The Crimson Knight Orders Chevalier Armor was more effective in stopping the ckbosses charge.


    With the Expert Knights following closely behind them, the Master-rank Knights rushed into the middle of the ckbosses formation andunched a barrage of attacks, the Auras sweeping through them like waves. The ckbosses leading the charge were flung back and sent crashing against those behind them.


    The Master-rank knights could not hold them all off, however. Those out of their range quickly rushed toward their nks. Their aggressive charge and the magic force field covering them created quite a daunting sight.


    In response, the Master-rank knights quickly split off into two groups and bombarded the ckbosses nking them with Aura. The attacks sted the monsters away and tangled them up with each other.


    As the Master-rank knights blocked and broke the formation of the monsters rushing head-on, the Expert Knights ran forward and attacked the ckbosses rolling on the ground.


    Dozens of ckbosses tried to get up and raise their front paws to defend themselves. Considering that the thick scales around their paws could deflect even Aura des, Expert-rank Knights could never pierce through their defenses even if they were wearing Chevalier Armor.


    However, many knights were attacking the monsters. Even if their paws were impregnable, they were not big enough topletely cover them. Aiming for undefended parts, the knights Aura prated the ckbosses hearts and heads.


    Having killed their targets, the Expert-rank knights retreated instead of being greedy to achieve more. The ckbosses in the back chased after them, but the Master-rank Knights stopped them with Aura.


    After the Master-rank knights broke the ckbosses formation, the Expert Knights quickly headed to the front and finished off the monsters. It was a simple offensive tactic that heavily relied on the Master-rank knights but brought impable results. If they failed to stop the charge or break their formation, the results could have been different.


    The ckbosses did not just blindly rush in either. nning to leave the Master-rank knights behind and take down the Expert-rank knights in the back, they used their brains to inform the others and hit areas that the Master-rank knights could not defend.


    However, the ckbosses failed to take into ount Mu-Gun and Philford. The two closely monitored the situation, eliminating anything that tried to slip past the Master-rank knights. Their presence on the battlefield allowed the Golden Lion Order and Crimson Dragon Order tounch a powerful offense without worrying about enemiesing from their rear.


    The knights orderly attacks quickly reduced the ckbosses numbers, eventually wiping them out.


    The Golden Lion Order and Crimson Dragon Order hugged each other and basked in the joy of their triumph. They suffered less than twenty casualtiespared to the enemys five thousand.


    Thanks to Mu-Gun, their long battle resulted in a perfect victory.
